JULY 2025
July is a dynamic month. The biggest event occurs on July 7 when Uranus enters Gemini. Uranus has an 84-year cycle, so this is unknown energy to most of the population. Expect the unexpected in electronic communication, the spread of use of AI, and ways to travel in the air. Uranus stays in Gemini until 2032. Mercury turns retrograde on July 18 at 15 degrees of Leo and moves back to 4 degrees of Leo. He ends his retrograde phase on August 11. Neptune goes retrograde on July 4, Saturn on July 13, and Chiron on July 30. Put your ambitious plans aside and just enjoy this summer month.
July 1 – Moon in Virgo. It’s a take-care-of-business kind of day. It’s best to do the dull, boring tasks that you want to leave for another day. Pick a closet, empty it, and only put back what you will use. Let that be a metaphor for clearing your mind from the thoughts that clutter it. Make a plan for the holiday weekend. Get out tonight and socialize.
July 2 – Moon in Libra. Check your paperwork and renegotiate anything related to your home and family. Can you get a better mortgage? Are you spending too much on cable, phones, or internet services? You can find good deals when you investigate these issues. Examine the balance between family responsibilities and your need to be with friends to see what you can give to make harmony.
July 3 – Moon in Libra. Enjoy the relative stability of today before things go awry tomorrow. Check in with old friends who are, or have been, important players in your life. Break the ice where there has been coolness and make the first move towards reconciliation. Do something special for your partner. Have a date night or fun at home.
July 4 – Moon in Scorpio. This won’t end up being the day you planned. Venus meets Uranus, and they chuckle when they give you something out of the ordinary to do. Venus then enters Gemin,i where she fills your mind with delightful thoughts. Neptune stands still for most of the day and then pivots into retrograde motion. All these planetary events indicate that you want to be flexible.
July 5 – Moon in Scorpio. It’s a watery weekend, and hopefully you can heed the call and take yourself to a body of water to be in, on, or near it. Your feeling nature is intensified, so pay attention to the voices you hear inside your head. When the emotions become too much, go to the garden and plant. You need time to yourself to flush out all the vibrations you pick up from others.
July 6 – Moon in Scorpio. Take time to chill out and have a lazy Sunday. Do what you want to do that makes you feel calm. Meditate. Today is His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s birthday. Do acts of kindness as a present to him. Donate time and/or money to help those in need. Do more planting. Imagine the changes you’d like to see around your home, inside and out.
July 7 – Moon in Sagittarius. There’s a big wrinkle in the force as Uranus enters Gemini in the early hours of the morning. He’s happy to shake off tight boundaries, free from the earthy confines of Taurus, and can move without restraint now. You will hear news that blows you away. Keep your mind open, loosen your mental boundaries, and enjoy the intellectual ride into the future.
July 8 – Moon in Sagittarius. Your mind feels the electric newness that Uranus in Gemini brings. It opens up old “run away from home” feelings and a desire to go to unknown places.

July 9 – Moon in Capricorn. Take advantage of the focus this Moon brings. It helps you get ready for Mercury retrograde. Buy what you need, fix what seems ready to break, and back up all your data.

July 10 – Moon in Capricorn. Today’s full Moon highlights the balance between home and career. Your itchiness to change jobs has to be seen in terms of family responsibilities.

It is not a day to plant, though it is good for weeding and mowing.
July 13 – Moon in Aquarius. It’s another day to hold back on planting. Have a calm day where you catch up on your reading list.
